Personally, De,
I suspect that this will help some, but not others.
It does look like maybe we've gone from saying
'There's nothing we can do' . . . to 'Let's try this
and see if it works.'

If I had a bad case of the coronavirus . . .
I'd certainly want to try it.

And then there is the possibility that mega-doses
of Vitamin C might help the victims . . . I was
just looking and some sites claim it won't do any
good while other sites claim China and a few other
countries had good luck with it.

Once again . . given the choice of doing nothing but
pray . . or trying the malaria drug and Vitamin-C . . .
I'll try either or both. And prayer.

Zim.

President Trump This Evening, Discussing Whether Hydroxychloroquine Works

President Trump's comments at today's Coronavirus task force briefing that were germaine to whether hydroxychloroquine works. Read, and then decide for yourself whether there's any certainty.


There are some very strong, powerful signs, and we'll have to see because, again, it's being tested now. This is a new thing that just happened to us, the invisible enemy we call it.

I'm not looking at it one way or the other, but we want to get out of this. If it does work, it would be a shame if we didn't do it early. But we have some very good signs. So, that's hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin.

We have it stockpiled. About 29 million doses. 29 million doses. We have a lot of it. We hope it works. Driven by the goal of . . . the brightest minds in science.

[Responding to reporter questions]
So it's a very strong, powerful medicine. It doesn't kill people. We have some very good results and some very good tests. You've seen the same tests that I have. In France, they had a very good test. They're continuing. But we don't have time to go and say, "Let's just take a couple of years and test it out. Let's go and test with test tubes and the laboratories." We don't have time. I'd love to do that, but we have people dying today. As we speak, there are people dying. If it works, that would be great. If it doesn't work, we know for many years, malaria... it's incredible what it's done for malaria... it's incredible what it's done for lupus. But it doesn't kill people. That's one of the things with a vaccine. When we have a vaccine, we have to do tests because when you inject that vaccine, when they take whatever it is they have to take, we have to make sure it doesn't have a horrible impact, destroy somebody. So we have to test it for a long period of time. This one not so much because it's been out there. Now, I'm not acting as a doctor. I'm saying, 'Do what you want. But there are some good signs.' You've read the signs. I've read the signs. With the other one [azithromycin], there's some very good signs also, different. Going together works very well, but there may be an indication that if you have a problem with your heart, you shouldn't take what we call the Z-pack. You shouldn't take it, and that's okay. But I would love to go to a laboratory and spend a couple of years testing something. We don't have time. We don't have two hours because there are people dying right now. If it does help, great. If it doesn't help, we gave it a shot. We gave it a shot. That's the way I feel. You know, we passed something it's called 'Right To Try.'
.
.

I want them to try it. And it may work and it may not work. But if it does not work, it's nothing lost by doing it. Nothing. Because we know long term, what I want, I want to save lives. And I don't want it to be in a lab for the next year and a half as people are dying all over the place.
.
.
.
I'll tell you what I accomplish. We bought massive amounts of it. 29 million doses of it. We have it coming from all of the labs who are actually doing it here, because in case it does work, we want to have it. And we've given it to drug stores, we're sending it all over - FEMA's doing it - we're doing it through different channels, many different channels, including the companies that make it. It's a very special thing. Now, it may not work, in which case, hey, it didn't work. And it may work, in which case, it's going to save a lot of lives. Now, a lot of people say, if the people walking in prior to getting it, if they can, it has a profound effect. Well, maybe it does and maybe it doesn't. I don't want to wait a year and a half to find out. And only CNN would ask that question. FAKE NEWS.
